K-9 units train, prepare for explosives searches]]> Agencies like the police departments for Little Rock, Jonesboro and Dallas, Texas, simulated searching for explosives during a training and certification session at 糖心Vlog传媒LR’s South Hall. For the exercise, dogs and their handlers practiced clearing an area of simulated explosives within a set amount of time. The purpose of the session was to keep聽K-9 teams up-to-date on their training and to certify new units, said Regina Carter, chief of the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Police Department. It also was a cooperative activity that helped agencies 聽鈥� including 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Police Department聽鈥� prepare to work together should a serious incident occur in the region, Carter said.   Photos:     ]]> /news-archive/2013/11/12/ualr-to-hold-grand-opening-of-new-police-substation/ /news-archive/2013/11/12/ualr-to-hold-grand-opening-of-new-police-substation/#respond Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:23:28 +0000 https://ualrprd.wpengine.com/news-archive/?p=47429 ... 糖心Vlog传媒LR to hold grand opening of police substation]]> department of public safety is operating a new substation in the heart of campus. 糖心Vlog传媒LR faculty, staff, and students are invited to join in celebrating the substation鈥檚 grand opening from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13. Key chains, baked goodies, and tours will be offered in the new substation located in room 105 of Stabler Hall. Crime Prevention Officer Jennifer Sibley said the location makes sense due to the number of classes held at Stabler Hall and its proximity to the theatre building where students sometimes have late-night rehearsals or unusual hours. As a reminder, Sibley said that all students, regardless of location, can call 501.569.3400 to schedule an escort if needed. The daytime, evening, and night patrols as well as the bike and foot patrols use the Stabler substation as their base.]]> /news-archive/2013/11/12/ualr-to-hold-grand-opening-of-new-police-substation/feed/ 0 /news-archive/2012/04/27/drop-off-unused-meds-saturday/ /news-archive/2012/04/27/drop-off-unused-meds-saturday/#respond Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:13:06 +0000 https://ualrprd.wpengine.com/news-archive/?p=33055 ...

• Prevent dangerous prescription drugs from being abused or diverted.
• Ensure that these drugs will never be stolen by young people straight from their own parents鈥� and grandparents鈥� medicine cabinets.
• Prevent overdoses and deaths.
• Ensure pharmaceuticals don鈥檛 pollute local water supplies, streams, and lakes – water treatment systems can鈥檛 remove them when they are flushed.

Annual Stroll to Inspect Lighting, Phones]]> 鈥淲e always invite the 糖心Vlog传媒LR community, especially students, to walk with us,鈥� said Dave Millay, associate vice chancellor for Facilities Management. Wednesday, Nov. 9, is the date for this year鈥檚 鈥淓xterior Lighting Walk of Campus,鈥� and students, faculty, and staff are invited to take part. To join the inspection, contact John McMains, assistant director for campus planning and capital construction, at jpmcmains@ualr.edu. McMains will lead the effort this year with a core group that will include Millay, Department of Public Safety Chief Brad King and some of his officers; Electric Shop Supervisor Benny Stringfellow and several of his fellow electricians; Assistant Director of Housing Randy Henslee, Customer Service Manager for Entergy Arkansas Paul Brewster, and Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration Bob Adams. The group will assemble at 5:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Facilities Management Building, room FM 205. Volunteers will be divided into groups and assigned to one of the core leaders. The group will fan out across campus with maps, flashlights, marking tape, and other supplies to take note of:

• Lights that are out
• Lights that are flickering or 鈥渟trobing鈥�
• Lights that are obscured by trees and shrubs
• Dark areas where additional lighting might be appropriate
• Any other conditions of concern relative to campus safety

The teams will mark any needed repairs and adjustments during the tour. They also will be testing the 84 emergency 鈥渂lue light鈥� telephones and reporting their status. 鈥淎t the end of the evening, McMains will conduct a debriefing of group leaders and answer any questions,鈥� Millay said.]]> /news-archive/2011/10/31/annual-campus-stroll-to-inspect-lighting-phones/feed/ 0 /news-archive/2011/10/26/ualr-participates-in-saturdays-take-back-campaign/ /news-archive/2011/10/26/ualr-participates-in-saturdays-take-back-campaign/#respond Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:37:52 +0000 https://ualrprd.wpengine.com/news-archive/?p=27973 ... 糖心Vlog传媒LR Participates in ‘Take Back’ Campaign]]> The 糖心Vlog传媒LR collection station is one of hundreds in Arkansas where residents can drop off old and unused medication to make sure it stays out of the hands of children and potential abusers.

Safety Forum Assures Campus Community]]> The gathering came four days after Little Rock Police announced that a body found in a pond near Sweet Home was that of 糖心Vlog传媒LR international business major Patricia Garcia Guardado, whose car was found abandoned a week ago in a parking lot across University Avenue west of the campus. 鈥淢any of you have expressed concerns over safety, and I wanted to give you an opportunity to voice your concerns and ask questions,鈥� the chancellor said. 鈥淚 want people to feel safe, as well as be safe.鈥� Several participants blamed lack of convenient parking near their classes for their feelings of insecurity. Several night students talked of low-levels of lighting on routes they take to get to their cars after class. Others complained of 20-minute waits for requested police escorts to their cars, and some suggested more emergency call boxes and more security cameras. One student who rides city buses to classes said security in the interior of campus is good but requested emergency call phones near entrances to the campus, something the chancellor said could be done. Another student 鈥� a former member of the military 鈥� suggested elevated security stations on parking lots to give observers a better view of the area. He also volunteered to organize students to man the observation posts. Several students, citing crime statistics and reviews of incident reports, said 糖心Vlog传媒LR is safer than most college campuses in the state. 鈥淭his is a safe campus,鈥� said Jessica Thompson, a criminal justice student who works on the information desk at the Donaghey Student Center. She countered criticism that campus police officers are seldom seen in the interior of the campus. 鈥淲e have 25 officers who work hard to keep you safe. They are stopping (potential criminals) on the outskirts.鈥� Stacy Moak, associate professor of criminal justice, said safety begins with the individual and she encouraged campus citizens to protect themselves from being victims of crime. 鈥淟adies, get your keys out of your purse before you leave the building. How many times have you seen someone in the parking lot, one foot on the ground, digging in the purse for the keys,鈥� she asked. 鈥淵our car is a weapon. Get in it, close the door, and crank it.鈥� Moak, who teaches night classes, always has students walk with her to her car, and she drives them to their car. 鈥淵ou have to feel the responsibility for your safety and safety of others,鈥� she said. Still, walking from a class that ends at 10 p.m can be unsettling. 鈥淎t night, it can be like a ghost town,鈥� said Sebastian Godsey, a sophomore majoring in international business. Anderson, who lives on campus and often walks at night and before dawn, said he understands how the dark can make one uneasy. 鈥淕rowing up on a farm, I understand if you are in the dark by yourself, it can be a scary thing,鈥� the chancellor said. Anderson said security is an ongoing topic of review at 糖心Vlog传媒LR, and he outlined safety policies initiated over the last few years. One of those changes allows students with a 糖心Vlog传媒LR ID to gain entry to any of the gated lots in the interior of the campus after 4 p.m. Every fall after the switch from Daylight Savings Time, Dave Millay, associate vice chancellor for facilities management, organizes a group to tour campus at night to make notes of shadowy areas to adjust lighting. Other recent security upgrades include telephone, text, and email notifications system, upgraded cameras, 84 emergency phones, and pedestrian safety measures. The administration has been studying establishing a shuttle system, 鈥渁nd there is a high probability we can to it, at least on a trial basis.鈥� Lt. Terry Hastings, public information officer for the Little Rock Police Department, offered an update on the investigation to find the killer of Patricia Guardado, who left her 聽home at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12. She never made it to her 9 a.m. calculus class. 鈥淭here was nothing as far as the car was concerned that set off any flags,鈥� Hastings said. 鈥淲e have information we are working on, but we are not revealing those details at this time. I have no doubt we will solve this case very quickly.鈥� Hastings said his first assignment after joining the LRPD in 1976 was to write parking tickets on 糖心Vlog传媒LR student cars parking in the same private lot where Guardado鈥檚 car was found.]]> /news-archive/2011/10/20/safety-forum-assures-campus-community/feed/ 0 /news-archive/2010/09/21/campus-police-to-collect-old-meds/ /news-archive/2010/09/21/campus-police-to-collect-old-meds/#respond Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:59:48 +0000 https://ualrprd.wpengine.com/news-archive/?p=19209 ...
